Robert Frost
1874 CE–1963 CE · Poet · San Francisco, California
Robert Frost was an American poet whose work drew on the landscape, speech, and rural life of New England. Born in San Francisco in 1874, he moved east with his family after his father's death and settled into a life of farming, teaching, and writing. Early recognition came only after he moved to England (1912-1915), where his first collections, A Boy's Will and North of Boston, were published. Returning to the United States, he gained wide acclaim and won the Pulitzer Prize four times. His later decades were divided among Vermont, Massachusetts, and teaching posts, with a principal winter home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Known for poems such as "The Road Not Taken," "Mending Wall," and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," he read at the 1961 presidential inauguration and died in Boston in 1963.
